Xena

Xena is a fictional character from Robert Tapert's Xena: Warrior Princess franchise. She first appeared in the 1995–1999 television series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, before going on to appear in Xena: Warrior Princess TV show and subsequent comic book of the same name. The Warrior Princess has also appeared in the spin-off animated movie The Battle for Mount Olympus, as well as numerous non-canon expanded universe material, such as books and video games. Xena was played by New Zealand actress Lucy Lawless, who commonly wore a tight leather skirted outfit overlaid with metal armor.
Xena is the protagonist of the story, and the series depicts her on a quest to redeem herself for her dark past by using her formidable fighting skills to help people. Xena was raised as the daughter of Cyrene and Atrius in Amphipolis, though the episode "The Furies" raised the possibility that Ares might be Xena's biological father, but it is never pursued further. She had two brothers, the younger of who is dead; she visits his grave to speak with him in "Sins of the Past."

List of TV's most memorable characters, of all time, chosen by the Ranker community. What makes a character live on in the public's memory, even years after the original run of their respective TV programs? In some cases, it's the amount of depth that the show's writers, actors and other creators were able to bring to the character over the course of many years. For many of the greatest TV characters of all time, audiences feel like they get to know personalities like Dexter Morgan from &quot;Dexter.&quot; Even after the show leaves the air, they may not want that relationship to end. (Thankfully, they don't have to, as many shows live on for years after their cancellation on DVD and in syndication.) The best TV characters are ones that you feel like you know and that you'd want to be friends with.TV has brought many famous characters to life who have been extremely compelling, even if they are not entirely likeable. Viewers may not wish to know dangerous, shadowy figures like Tony Soprano, Vernon Schillinger, and Omar Little in reality, but following their exploits safely from the comfort of your living room can be appealing. Likewise, people who might be aloof or downright unpleasant in real life - think &quot;Mad Men's&quot; Don Draper or Al Swearengen of &quot;Deadwood&quot; - can prove charming, even admirable, when seen at a distance, with the subtext and intricacy that a top long-running TV show can provide.Who is the greatest TV character ever? This list contains the names of the greatest, most fascinating, and most enduring fictional characters from TV of all time. Be sure to vote for your favorites, and if some of your favorite popular characters aren't represented, go ahead and re-rank the list to contribute to the discussion.

Here are the rankings for the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-female-movie-characters/ranker-characters?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best female characters</a> for your daughter to look up to. The TV shows with great <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/female-role-models/ericascheidt?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">female role models</a> span the decades, from black-and-white to digital film. They also span the style, from live action multi-camera sitcoms to cartoons. Who are some of the best female role models on TV? You could make a pretty good case for Leslie Knope's passion, Liz Lemon's wit, and Rachel Green's attitude. Or, if people really want to talk about strong independent women, we have listed ladies like Susie Greene from &quot;Curb Your Enthusiasm&quot; and Xena (the Warrior Princess). Some seem to think even Nancy Botwin from &quot;Weeds&quot; is a good female role model on television -- perhaps for her business sense. TV can make a difference in the culture, as shows can set standards and aspirations for young women, or men, with the remote control.

Looking for more strong women characters in your life? This list of awesome <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-female-characters-in-literature?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">women in literature</a>, TV, and film has all kinds. One owns the love of dragons with the desire to become a queen. Another wields a sword in battle to seek atonement for the mistakes of her past, and help the weak combat the oppressive. Yet another fights against entertainment stereotypes and still others speak up for themselves and for women - and people of any gender - everywhere.

These females are the fighters, they are brave in battle, and stand up against injustices in the workplace. They protect and serve, yet never complain. These are the strongest, most bad*ss female characters in the history of film, books, and television.

This Ranker list has it all, from detectives to textile workers. Good girl characters form unions and sometimes need to stand alone in order to unite. It&#39;s not always easy for a female to lead, to upend media stereotypes, to essentially be a heroine when no one thinks that you can win. But not every hero needs to stand six feet tall with the ability to bench press 300 pounds. Don&rsquo;t think that a chick can save the day? Just ask Sarah Connor how many cyborgs she&rsquo;s terminated.

We salute the many awesome fictional heroines with this list. From the courtroom to the battleground, these are the coolest, strongest, not to be messed with&nbsp;female characters on the silver screen, the small screen, and the pages of great literature. Be sure to make your voice heard and upvote the greatest, most memorable female characters.

From cartoon favorites such as She-Ra to film legends such as Princess Buttercup from The Princess Bride, you&rsquo;ll find them all here on this list of the greatest fictional princesses of all time.

Perhaps one of the most awesome princesses from the fictional realm is Leia Organa, the beautiful and noble princess introduced in Star Wars in the 1970s. The popularity of Star Wars never seems to fade and neither does fans&rsquo; love of <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-princess-leia-quotes/movie-and-tv-quotes" target="_blank">Princess Leia</a>.

Of course, no list of fictional princesses would be complete without some of the most famous princesses - the Disney princesses. Although the Disney princesses are usually considered to be for children, adults love them, too. Who can deny the beauty and grace of Princess Ariel? She may be an animated character, but as a princess she&rsquo;s lovely and majestic, something even adults can appreciate.

This list contains all of the best fictional princesses, be they from books, movies, television shows, or theatrical productions. Some go on to become queens, while others retain the title of princess, but they&rsquo;re all memorable and have earned their places on this list of the greatest fictional princesses.

Have you ever been totally engrossed in a TV show, then completely blindsided by an unexpected&nbsp;change? Have you ever wondered why the showrunners&nbsp;wrote a certain plotline the way they did? Many of our favorite TV shows have made big decisions about the course of a storyline based on some surprising factors. Sometimes, however,&nbsp;these determining factors boil down to one thing: money.

The budget a show has to work with affects every aspect of the&nbsp;series, and sometimes studios make big changes without consulting everyone involved. One major reason plots change is due to tight budgets - either the show starts out with a measly amount to work with, or their budget gets slashed to make room for other shows.&nbsp;This all affects the production value and the amount of creativity that directors and writers can afford to devote to a series. Some of your favorite shows may have suffered from these issues.

It&#39;s hard to truly calculate the impact Ancient Greece has had on modern civilization. They helped usher in the first known novels,&nbsp;created freaking democracy, and showed the world&nbsp;how doing 200 sit-ups a day can really showcase&nbsp;one&#39;s stomach muscles.&nbsp;

It only makes sense, then, that hundreds of movies and shows have been set in ancient Greece starring Greek characters. There are films like&nbsp;Hercules&nbsp;focusing on Greece&#39;s ancient religion, or&nbsp;Alexander the Great&nbsp;focusing on their militaristic conquests, or even&nbsp;300&nbsp;focusing on those sick, sick abs.&nbsp;But the question remains, who is the best Greek character ever? Would it be a Spartan warrior or an Athenian scholar? Either way, Ranker has created a list of some of the greatest Greek characters in film and TV history.

So take a break from all those&nbsp;sit-ups and vote up a few of your favorites Greek characters. Is your favorite not on the list? Go ahead and add them!

LGBTQ+ people are&nbsp;hugely&nbsp;underrepresented in pop culture. For lack of an alternative,&nbsp;the community has a long tradition of&nbsp;adopting certain fictional characters as its own, whether they're canonically members or not.Some of these choices may seem surprising on the surface. Batman, for instance —&nbsp;one of the earliest accidental <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-queer-comic-book-characters/joedonley" target="_blank">queer comic book figures</a>&nbsp;—&nbsp;achieved this status through a combination of the homoerotic subtext between him and his young ward Robin and&nbsp;the campiness of his live-action TV show in the '60s. Plus,&nbsp;as&nbsp;Batman&nbsp;comic book writer&nbsp;Grant Morrison points out, he enjoys dressing&nbsp;in &quot;fetish&nbsp;clothes&quot;&nbsp;every night.&nbsp;Sesame Street's <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/8-reasons-why-bert-and-ernie-are-gay-_and-why-that_s-ok_/joanne" target="_blank">Bert and Ernie</a>&nbsp;have bedroom arrangements that turned&nbsp;them into unexpected <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/greatest-gay-icons-in-music/celebrity-lists" target="_blank">gay icons</a>&nbsp;when the internet woke up. Possibly the most unlikely of them all, however, is&nbsp;the Babadook – he&nbsp;transformed&nbsp;from horror movie monster to <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/lgbt-pride-parade-signs/ashley-reign" target="_blank">Pride parade</a> mascot thanks to a Netflix categorization error.
